Welcome to Guardian Travel. Here, you will find one of the largest collection of discount European river cruise vacations offered to you by Brendan Vacations, Globus Journeys, Amadeus Waterways, Uniworld, and Viking River Cruises. We will cater to you or your group to meet all your needs or wants in a river cruise.

There is no better way to discover the splendor of Europe than on a European river cruise. Europe's grand waterways take you to the heart of many of Europe's magnificent cities, and to vineyard-lined valleys and medieval castles. The cultures that flourished along these inland waterways are fascinating and unforgettable. Why limit yourself to the coastal regions visited by big cruise ships? Sail instead in an intimate setting aboard a small, cozy and beautifully-appointed riverboat.

*Guardian Travel has an agent (Janet) on staff that has experience in booking European river cruise vacations and is a European specialist. Please contact her to discuss this vacation package further.*

In addition we offer European river cruises which are a part of a longer tour itinerary that include hotel stays. When packaged this way, our European river cruises save you up to thirty to forty percent off the price of traveling the same itinerary on your own. That's because tour operators negotiate low group rates on everything from hotels to cabins on European river cruises, and pass the savings on. And that's not all. Our European river cruises are hassle-free because all the details are handled for you. They're easy to budget, as so much is included in one price. And, local guides with years of experience help you discover more sights than you could possibly find on your own.

For over one thousand years, the great rivers of Europe – the Rhine, the Danube and more – have been the travel and trade routes of choice. Today, great castles, stunning cathedrals, elegant cities and charming riverside towns tempt travelers to step ashore from river cruises. Stroll through the picturesque villages of the Loire Valley and Provence, glory in the tulip fields of Holland, and explore the great museums and palaces of the Russian Czars. Wherever rivers lead, Brendan Vacations, Globus, Amadeus, Viking, and Uniworld allows you to experience the best of Europe from a delightful and unique perspective.

We have been sharing the World of Brendan Vacations and Globus with our travelers for 39 years.
